Does anyone know how to donate blood and get paid for it?

You can't donate something and get paid for it. When you that, you are
selling, not donating.

Go to a different county. In the US, and I presume many other countries,
they don't pay for blood donations because they want people donating for
money, particularly drug users and prostitutes. This is to help protect the
blood supply from HIV, Hepatitis and other diseases.

Good.

You can sell plasma. Look in your local phone book under blood or plasma,
and make a few phone calls.

You get paid for donating Plasma...

Find a plasma center.

What exactly do they need my plasma for? I thought plasma was just
sugar and random proteins, like a high-protein slurpee.

Plasma is used to restore blood volume, restore clotting proteins in people
with clotting problems, like during surgery, to get the immunoglobins
(antibiodies), and for research, among other uses.

In my country (Italy) that's forbidden by law, to get paid for donating
blood.
I believe that's because if donors get paid, there is a risk that someone
donates even if they shouldn't.
